WES Nelson has revealed he’s “super-intimidated” after signing up to Dancing on Ice and fears Gemma Collins will “wipe the floor” with him.
The 20-year-old, who found fame on Love Island over the summer, is the latest star to confirm he’s getting his skates on after The Sun revealed he had been lined up to join the show.
But the reality star, who fell in love with Megan Barton Hanson on the ITV2 dating show, is feeling a little concerned about the competition.
He said: "Gemma Collins is going to wipe the floor with me, I'm super intimidated.
“I've been looking at the line up thinking 'oh my gosh!' Of course you'll be seeing my hips on the ice and the hips don't lie!"
Wes’ exciting news was announced live on BBC Radio One's Maya Jama show today, just hours after Grease actress Didi Conn and Saara Aalto were confirmed.
This comes after Coronation Street'star Jane Danson confirmed yesterday she will also be getting her skates on for the show, and admitted it will be "a challenge".
She said: "I've known since July so quite a while, so I've had to keep it under my hat for a long time. The next few days I'll be starting the training. I can skate a little bit.
"I think, obviously, when you take on something like this, you've got to expect that it's not without risks but I'm not really thinking about that because I'm seeing it as a challenge."
